UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK HENRY ROJAS, Plaintiff, -against- 24-CV-230 (JGLC) FAMILY DELI 4 INC, doing business as Family ORDER Deli 4 Tremont, and HASSAN KORAIN, Defendants.

JESSICA G. L. CLARKE, United States District Judge: The Court will grant Joseph A. Altman’s motion to be relieved as counsel for Defendant, Family Deli 4 Inc., doing business as Family Deli 4 Tremont. Before doing so, however, Mr. Altman shall serve this Order on his client and file proof of service by October 28, 2025. The Court hereby STAYS proceedings (and any associated deadlines) for thirty days to allow Defendants to retain new counsel. Any new counsel appearances shall be entered by November 24, 2025. The Court reminds Defendant Family Deli 4 Inc. that it must retain new counsel within thirty days and may not proceed pro se, because a corporate entity like Family Deli 4 Inc. may appear in federal court only through counsel. See Lattanzio v. COMTA,

, 139–40 (2d Cir. 2007) (collecting cases); see also Jones v. Niagara Frontier Transp. Auth.,

, 22 (2d Cir. 1983) (“[I]t is established that a corporation, which is an artificial entity that can only act through agents, cannot proceed pro se.”). Should Family Deli 4 Inc. fail to retain new counsel and enter an appearance, default judgment may be entered against it. See, e.g., Grace v. Bank Leumi Tr. Co. of N.Y.,

(2d Cir. 2006). Dated: October 24, 2025 New York, New York SO ORDERED.
